World's first soy sauce powder by Muroji
THE OLDEST SOY SAUCE BREWERY MADE THE WORLD'S FIRST SEASONING.
For me, soy sauce ("Shoyu" or 醤油) is not easy seasoning to handle for both as dipping or adding as seasoning. For example, dipping sashimi is all about choosing the right type of the sauce and dip less than half of the sashimi to enjoy both taste of the sauce and the fresh fish.
When it comes to cooking, I would pay attention for adding right amount of soy sauce. Pouring from the bottle can easily make your food almost tastes like it's made of soy sauce. So, using a spoon and pour on it, then add into the pan was my best option at the time. Simply a repeated routine of add and taste. After a couple of times doing so, the taste gradually approach to where, I would call, "landing zone".
Honestly, I like cooking. I really do. But "adding soy sauce part" of it, testes my nerve.
Soy sauce powder makes the pain go away.
It is world's first invention of soy sauce seasoning. And it is made by the oldest soy sauce brewery in Fukui called Muroji. Their business of brewing soy sauce was started in 1573 as under a name, Muroya. About 100 years later, they decided to concentrate on making soy sauce only in 1573.
Their product, soy sauce and some soy sauce related products have established solid reputation as the best. And recently, they did me a huge favor by selling soy sauce powder.
